Atlantic County Utilities Authority

Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) is a public agency in Atlantic County, New Jersey, that is responsible for enhancing quality of life through the protection of waters and lands from pollution by providing responsible waste management services.
== History ==

The Atlantic County Utilities Authority was formed in the late 1960s by the Atlantic County Board of Freeholders and charged with developing a comprehensive approach to wastewater management. At that time, Atlantic County had more than 20 small, outdated sewage treatment plants, most of which discharged effluent into streams, tidal waters and other surface waters. Over the years, the situation resulted in the degradation of the county's fresh water resources, estuaries and marine environments. With the construction of the Coastal Region Wastewater Treatment Plant in 1978, conditions began to improve. Since that time the system has been expanded to serve the needs of residential and commercial development throughout the county as well as demands placed by increased tourism. As a result, back bays, rivers and streams are now fit for recreational activities such as swimming and fishing.
In June 1981, the Board of Freeholders designated the ACUA as the implementing agency for the Atlantic County Solid Waste Management Plan. Prior to the Freeholders’ action, trash generated in the county had been buried in 46 unlined landfills, which had become a direct threat to our groundwater resources. The Pinelands Commission required that many of these landfills be closed by August 8, 1990. These new environmental regulations, together with New Jersey's Mandatory Recycling Act, necessitated a completely new system of solid waste management in Atlantic County. Starting in 1990, the ACUA established a nationally recognized system to recycle, compost, and dispose of solid waste. A double-lined landfill, recycling center, composting site, transfer station, and ancillary facilities were built on a 360-acre site known as the Howard “Fritz” Haneman Environmental Park.
